Voting For Change Is Stupid

I am so fucking sick of this retarded slogan aimed at the mouth breathers that unfortunately make up such a large percentage of the voting public. "Vote For Change". Okay, so what's the fucking big change I'm voting for? Or am I voting for a small change, or perhaps just a minor shift in policy, but a change nonetheless. Or suppose there's no incumbent seeking re-election - in that case we're already voting for a fucking change since there's nothing else to vote for.

You see this shit everywhere, but what does it really mean? Of course, I as well as any other conservative knows it's a Democrat strategy aimed at seducing uninformed voters to decide with their emotions and not their brains. But - once again - what is the change you're voting for? That's the question you need to ask. Remember - not all change is good, and some of the worst politicians and leaders in history have been elected on the basis of change.

Jimmy Carter	Elected to move the country away from the 'tyranny' of the Nixon administration. Succeeded in causing a massive gas shortage, turning our ally Iran into an enemy, and continues to side with terrorists against American interests to this day.
Fidel Castro	While not necessarily 'voted in', Castro was installed as leader of Cuba because the people wanted change - a change to socialism. Now the once prosperous Cuba has it's people sneaking out any which way they can to escape the poverty and tyranny.

Adolf Hitler	The German people had simply had enough of allowing foreigners and immigrants come into their country and run roughshod over their economy. So they elected Hitler, who promptly murdered as many Jews as he could.

If you're actually going to take the time to go stand in the heat of some run down municipal building to vote, why not at least understand a little about the person you're voting for? That bullshit slogan is everywhere this election year, as Democrats all over the country attempt to glom on to Barack Obama's coat tails. Shit, since Bush's two terms are up there's gonna be a change anyway - especially considering Obama's opponent is more like him than Bush, there's nothing really exciting or unique about the slogan.

So what are the changes that Obama suggests? Let's see:

Increasing taxes on those who earn over 250,000 dollars. Wow, let's further stifle our economy by constricting the spending power of those who actually move money through our system. Face it - buying a yacht generates more revenue than buying a pack of generic socks at Wal Mart. And the untold story of those who earn (not have) over 250,000 - they are the job creators. The vast majority of this country works for the small businesses they own, and not for huge mega-corporations. Way to boost the unemployment level, asshole.
Creating a 'windfall profits' tax on oil companies. As if the price of gas isn't high enough! First off, a windfall profits tax applies to money received - not money earned. Secondly, oil company profits are so high right now because of the law of supply and demand! They've raised the price in order to reduce demand so it meets the supply, but we still keep buying it. Dumbass.
Universal health care. So we already have more government programs that are impossibly difficult to use and are struggling to stay solvent than you can shake a stick at, and you not only want to create another one - you want to FORCE us into it! Add this to raising the price of gas and taxing job creators even more, and this is a recipe for economic disaster. Even without the Iraq war, we simply can't afford all this. And with the constant call for less government involvement in our personal lives - need I say more than Patriot Act and ACLU - what the fuck sense does it make to be FOR this?

So morons, you can plainly see not all change is good. Maybe instead of jumping on the catchy slogan and feel-good atmosphere of 'voting for change' you should figure out what the fuck you're voting for. I know I don't want it to be harder to find a job or fill my gas tank, and I definitely don't want Uncle Sam taking more money out of my paycheck without my permission! Really - do you people have no understanding of how our economy works, and the factors that are being pushed right now to kill it? The Soviet Union fucking collapsed because of this kind of spending without earning. Obama's proposals are going to crush us - there's no other way to put it. I hate to quote John McCain, but he put it best -

This will be the second term of Jimmy Carter. We are truly living in the epoch of incredulity.
